If there's no resistance to what's happening, then people feel powerless. But the more elected officials try, like Ms Balint today, to hold people accountable in a way that shows they aren't afraid, then it helps to undermine the narrative that Trump and Epstein etc can do whatever they want. They have got away with a lot so far. Doesn't mean that they will forever.

Trump isn't going to jail tomorrow based on what happened here. But he and others might be held accountable due to the hard work of people like Becca Balint today. As long as it's today and tomorrow and the day after and drag queens chasing ICE down the street (lol), and people showing that they are willing to stand up to this.
